This week a duotangle. Tangles to use are Knightsbridge and Tipple. Just like the Diva, I love Tipple, and Knightbridge well thats not my kind of tangle. I didn't really know what to do, so I started to take a left over tile from last week with some water color. I made a string, and started to tangle. I am not very satisfied with the tile, but when I was working on it the idea of making a spiral popped up in my mind, so after finishing the first one I started right away with my spiral in black and white. In this tile I am very satisfied with my Knightbridge, and once again I am glad that we have these challenges, so that I explore even the tangles I thought I didn't like.

This week Erin gave us a beautiful template. But sorry Erin I had to make some changes in it. Last week I made some changes too, and this weeks template looks to much like my last weeks work. So I draw some lines and started in the middle with Well. I was inspired by the blogpost of Maria and Rick about the borders, and so I tried the border she made on a tile to do in my middle border part.

This week the challenge is to use Color. In what way you like. I didn't had a lot of time this week because there was the Duchenne Heroes Mountainbike tour. It is a route over 700 km in 7 days. Very tough and done by people to raise money for investigation to find a medicine against this muscle dystrophy desease. There were 2 men especially biking for my daughter, so we tried to follow them digital, and because yesterday the finish off the 4th etappe was in Valkenburg, a village about 12 km away from our home we went to see our heroes finish. It was really great, we do have respect for all those men and women doing this for children suffering this illness.

The Diva challenge of this week had to be the new tangle of Maria en Rick. What a great tangle this is, with so many options to use, to fill and to play with. Before I did my tile I started to practice the tangle in my notebook. And after a while I had a great variation. I did combine blocks with only the first part of the tangle steps, and blocks with the complete tangle steps even adding some more flower petals. So I got this beautiful flower scene. I love this tangle very much. You can be so creative with it, and make it look so different every time. Thanks Maria and Rick for this great pattern, and of course our Diva for letting explore us this great tangle.

This week a template with an extra challenge because it is the first saturday of the month. This challenge is to use only one fineliner to draw everything, and to fill the bigger spaces. Well thats what I most of the time do, so that was no extra challenge for me. I do use more than on pencil to make my shadings so I decided to use only the 2B pencil to make my shadings. Looking at the template I saw a braid in the outside border of the zendala, so I started drawing in this one, and the rest floated right out of my pens.

The UMTchallenge this month had to be done with beamz. This is a verry verry square and straight tangle. Oh so not my thing. So a big challenge to draw. I started firdt by practice the tangle and I became a little frustrated by the drawing process, could not discovery zen mood with this one. So here is what I draw finally.

This week a very nice template with lots of flowers, lots of hearts and even a new tangle to try called Midoosa. I like that one very much. Normaly I try to adjust the template by tangling in such a way that the original template is hardly to recover, but this time I had a hard time on that process. So I decide to do the Midoosa in the middle and the rest started to flow out of my pencil. I had a lot of fun making this one.
